Personal spending habits
In the categories in which I spent less I did so because prices in Argentina concerning these categories arr lower. I spent more for housing because in Viena I live at home & therefore don´t have to pay for it. I payed more for travelling in Argentina than in Austria because I travelled a lot more than I usually do in Austria.

Buenos Aires is one of the world´s most interesting and lively cities. There are so many things to do, there´s always something opened and there are so many places to go to and things to explore that your can´t stay there long enough. if you stay there for a longer time and have the possibility to travel, please DO SO, it´s an amazing experience!! you won´t be able to belief what you can see there because it´s so fascinating the country, there are so many incredible places that you really can´t travel enough.
